Jakarta , Indonesia -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Indonesian authorities killed the suspected mastermind behind the deadly 2002 Bali bombings , Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said on Wednesday .

Yudhoyono announced the death of terrorist Dulmatin while speaking with reporters during a visit to Australia . The Bali bombings killed 202 people .

`` I can announce to you that , after a successful police raid against the terrorists hiding out in Jakarta yesterday , we can confirm that one of those that was killed was Mr. Dulmatin , one of the top southeast Asian terrorists that we have been looking for , '' Yudhoyono said .

Dulmatin , one of Indonesia 's most wanted terrorists , had several aliases , including Joko Pitoyo . He was an electronics specialist who trained in al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan and had a $ 10 million bounty on his head , according to the U.S. State Department .

He was a senior member of the al Qaeda-linked terror network Jemaah Islamiyah .

Indonesian media had been reporting that Dulmatin was killed in a shootout in Pamulang , Banten province , on Tuesday .

The raid was linked to ongoing security sweeps in Aceh province in northern Sumatra . Police have arrested 15 suspected militants , and one has been killed . Three police officers have died in the raids .

Aceh Governor Irwandi Yusuf said that , for a year now , he has known about a militant training camp in the province . He said militants were seeking to establish camps similar to those run by Jemaah Islamiyah in the the southern Philippines .

The group has a stated goal of creating an idealized Islamic state comprising Indonesia , Malaysia , Singapore , the southern Philippines and southern Thailand , according to GlobalSecurity.org , a public policy Web site that provides background on defense issues .

Yusuf told reporters that militants chose Aceh because it is a predominantly Muslim province that imposes shariah , or Islamic , law and because a rebellion -- the Free Aceh Movement -- had taken root there .

Indonesia 's current anti-terrorism efforts come just days before President Barack Obama 's planned visit to the world 's most-populous Muslim nation .
